In spring, after a long winter, nothing is more welcome than colorful flowers. With a wide range of sizes, colors, textures and shapes to choose from, no garden should be without at least one spring blooming shrub.

Pinkshell Azalea

Forsythia

Witchhazel

Pussy Willow

Bridal-Wreath Spiraea

PJM Rhododendrons

Flowering quince

Common Lilac

Susan .. I love it! I've never seen Witchhazel either.. or maybe I have an mistook it for Forsythia. I wish I had a pussy willow growing in my yard.. I get cracked up everytime I see one.. a girlfriend sent me a huge bouqet of them when I had a hysterectomy years ago as a joke.Thanks for sharing.Hugs,Debbie

wow. I love your blogs! half of those are new to me - I've never seen witchhazel before, or spiraea or flowering quince... lilacs are my favorite ever. They remind me of summers on Cape Cod, my mom would "borrow" them and then place them in a big blue pitcher my aunt had thrown on her pottery wheel and they would smell lovely...

Tbese are all gorgeous. I love the lilacs, but the witchhazel is really pretty, I don't think I've every seen it before (except in those brown pharmacy bottles lol). Thanks again for hosting this fun event. Kathy

well... I've run around and visited all your links - I'll have to put up something tomorrow ... maybe pictures of the golf tournament. I heard the fireworks going off just now, they must have started...

Isn’t it lovely to see everything in bloom. I feel like it is passing by so quickly. Spring has come in a rush and seems to be departing before my eyes. Maybe it has been the rain that makes it seem so. I’d like it to last just a bit longer. I enjoyed all your delightful spring photos.Kate

~Hi~I think your blog should win a blue ribbon this week. Oh such lovely flowers you have posted. It makes my heart sing just to look at the witchhazel, the Bridal-Wreath Spiraea, and the lilacs. Each plant seems to be at their peak performance. By the way, I appreciate all the time and effort you spend on Outdoor Wednesday. Take care of yourself. Joyce M

Dear Susan, I hope you are feeling in the pink right now, and that Spring has bathed you in it's beautiful comfort. Your pictures are wonderful, and I just want to say thanks for all your effort in continuing to host this special day.

Hi Susan,Happy Outdoor Wednesday.Thank you for sharing all of those wonderful images of the different blooming shrubs.They are all very beautiful but my favorite will always be the lilac.Have a wonderful Day,Tam

Good morning Susan, your flowers are beautiful. You are great at knowing the names of everything. I am still learning about flowers that I couldn't grow in FL. Just experiencing spring is still new to me. I'm 'lovin' it!!!

They are all my favorites! Well when it comes to flowers, all are loved by me! I long to have a Pussy Willow plant! I love the lilac bush too, and wish I had one growing! They are so beautiful! Thanks, for the note, about missing me, made my day!

Thank you for stopping by my blog and taking the time to comment! I enjoy reading all your thoughts and will try to answer any questions you might have for me. Have a wonderful day....hope to "see"you again soon!
